Doesn't add; doesn't fit
Dirty boots; pretty dress
The way he smiles makes me cry
Say hello and wave goodbye
Cut the page; blind collage
Being good's a dirty job
Strike the thought and shove it down
Send the witches out of town
Tell no lies, Aliby
Wake the babe before she cries
Sing the note; take it home
Rip if off; fast and slow
Watch behind; look ahead
Ask the preacher what he said
Take your time but hurry up
Ask for more and beg to stop
Smooth it out; jump inside
Tell the people where you hide
Wear your raincoat when it's dry
Trust the lady when she lies
Bridge the waters; take a dive
Kill it off to feel alive
Bridge the waters; take a dive
Kill it off to feel alive

Burn Me

I'm lonely and I'm tired can we please sit out of the dance?
I try to follow your lead, but you lean right and then go left
Are you trying to lose me?
Are you trying to lose me?
The light that I walked toward wasn't sunshine it was a flame
Closer to the fire every time you'd say my name
Are you trying to burn me?
Are you trying to burn me?
Tell me the truth it is all that I want
Won't you trade me the truth for the
Lies I've got
I'll hold my hand out to you, you can take it or decline
Sit down at my table; eat my bread and drink my wine
Maybe you will rob me
Maybe you will love me
Maybe you will rob me
But that will never stop me
{Chorus}
If you wanna pretend, I can't stop you
It's your life you can live how you want
If you want something real lose the costume
Before it becomes all you've got
All you've got
I'll tell you what I think of you even if it hurts
To know that I still love you though you've given me your worst

Not So Scary

Shut the door and turn off your phone
Feel your nakedness
Feel alone as your body trembles in the kitchen chair
She doesn't hurt you, doesn't cut your hair
Oh, her eyes, they read you like a written page
And you lay before her on this empty stage
Oh, it's going somewhere, going somewhere fast
She knows how to love you and she'll make it last
It's not so scary, it's not so scary
No it's not so scary, it's not so scary to be loved
Her love is violent like a surgeons knife
If it doesn't kill you it'll save your life
As the truth bleeds out and hits the floor
She doesn't hate you, no, she begs for more
And it's not so scary
{Chorus}
Your worst nightmare is coming true
How did you let this happen to you?
Try as you might, squirm in your chair
You wouldn't rather be anywhere else
The cat is out, nothing's in the bag
And your cover's blown like a filthy rag,
But she wrings it out and she wipes your brow
There's nothing but her love to clothe you now
And it's not so scary
{Chorus}
